World Vision sent two truckloads of disaster relief supplies to Venezuela to assist those impacted by last week’s catastrophic earthquakes. Jeff Fields, site manager of World Vision’s Pittsburgh warehouse, said the supplies include generators, tarps, flood buckets, personal hygiene kits, and other items needed for immediate relief. “Each truckload had four pallets of generators. Each pallet had eight generators on it. And we include a gas cannon, an extension cord with that, to be sure they have that to be able to keep those generators running. We had two pallets of water on each load and then four pallets of hygiene kits. And those kits will give somebody like a month’s supply of what they would need,” Fields said. The supplies are now in Miami and will be shipped overseas, taking about six days to reach the most devastated areas. World Vision already has crews on the ground ready to assist. “A lot of collapsed buildings, you know, still trying to find people that are still surviving from the collapse of the buildings. And they had a lot of difficulty at the beginning getting heavy equipment in to be able to move that heavy stuff off. So it’s been kind of a slow process,” Fields said.If donate, click here.
